Week 56

Dang.. I feel like I blink my eyes and it´s already the next week. Damon´s 2! I can´t believe that! I didn´t know all those people got married! Congratulations from Paraguay.. :D So yeah, another fast week! This week is gonna go by even faster! Maybe it should go by faster so I can hang onto my hair a little longer... 1.  So, when transfers come, do you think that you will be staying in Colonel Bogado?  Or do you think Elder Wilding will go or both or do you think you will be staying?  I know it is just speculation! Shoot.. I don´t know what´ll happen. I think Elder Wilding will leave, but at the same time, I could leave. I think he´ll probably leave because he´s been here more time than I. We´re like brothers! I´ll be sad if we get split up :( 2.  Did you have good interviews with President Callan?  It's your last one with him before he heads back home right?  I'm sure you are going to really miss him and Sister Callan! Yep, that was the last one! I´m really going to miss the Callan´s. President Callan is going to be a Apostle in a few years, just wait.. That guy´s a stud! 3.  Did you find some new investigators this past week? Yeah, but I don´t know how golden they are.. They´re great people but they gotta have their desires in the right spot to change. Not just to be able to "change religions" but to be able to receive an answer through prayer. If they don´t desire it, they won´t get it. 4.  Is your area still just sooo tough? It´s not killer tough, it´s just small and everyone is Catholic. "Hey, can we talk to you about Jesus?", "NO! We´re Catholic!! Otro día!" I don´t know.. Maybe I´m just having a trial of my faith. 5.  Do you have an interesting, fun, crazy story to tell us? I´ve got a spiritual one.. Holy Moly!! We met this kid named Jorge, he´s 17 (turns 18 next Monday) and he lives with his grandma, 2 aunts, an uncle, and like 3 cousins- they´re all Catholic. Jorge met the missionaries a little over a year ago and was about to get baptized but couldn´t because the grandma wouldn´t give him permission.. So Elder Wilding and I found him again! (thank you area book..) This kid´s a stud! He was kinda scared to commit to getting baptized because one of the missionaries here didn´t fall well with the grandma; I don´t know all the details, but she said no! Solo que tenía una falta de ojos azules ;D She´s like in love with Elder Wilding and I! She calls us her kids.. Anyways! So Jorge was kinda scared.. He has a testimony, he knows its true, so we invited him to pray right there. He offered one of the most heart-felt prayers I think I´ve ever heard. After praying and begging for about 3 minutes to know if him getting baptized was the will of the Lord, he sat there with his head down burried in his hands.. After about another minute he looked up at us. We felt the Spirit for sure, and so did he, so Elder Wilding and I were kinda antsy like, "Well?!" Then Jorge said, "Estoy listo. Me voy a bautizar." So we´re gonna have a baptism! 6.  What was your favorite experience that happened this week?   ^^ :D 7.  How is the work going? Its going pretty well! There´s a couple cities close to Coronel Bogado that are part of our branch.. Artigas and San Pedro.. There´s 3 people in each city that are ready for baptism! So we´re going to have a couple more baptisms this month! We were talking to our Branch President last night and he said that if all these people get baptized, and the men receive the priesthood, we´ll have enough people to have a chapel out here! How cool is that?! So the work is starting to pick up a little bit here. So when that happens, some of the families here will be reactivated and Bogado´s gonna be a stake someday! So we´re good to go for Skype next Monday at 3:00 pm Paraguay time! I don´t know what time that is in the US.. Sorry! I just checked, the computers here have Skype, cameras, and headsets! So tell the family to be there! The internet is pretty good here in this cyber so I think we´ll have a good connection! I just lost my train of thought.. Oh! My debit card expires this month.. My debit card from CapEd. What do I do? Big gulps huh? Welp, see ya later! I love you!! See ya next week!
